BIKE OWNERS MANUAL
congratulations general introduction
safety
Congratulations on your purchase of a new Scott bicycle! We are confident that the
bicycle will exceed your expectations for value, performance, and ride quality. Each
frame set and component has been custom specified and designed to enhance your
riding experience. Whether you are a beginning cyclist, or a seasoned pro, Scott
bicycles will provide endless hours of two-wheeled fun.
We strongly encourage you to take the time to read this manual and familiarise
yourself with your new bicycle. If you have purchased a bike for your children, please
take the time to make sure they understand the information contained in this Owner’s
Manual.
Important!
If you purchased this bicycle for a minor, it is essential that a responsible adult/
parent thoroughly reviews and reads the Owner’s Manual to the minor.
Please make sure to get your Scott bike completely assembled from your authorized
Scott dealer.
This is very important for optimum performance and safety and guarantees you a long
lasting joy while riding your bike.
It is important to understand the basics of riding a bicycle, but it is equally important to
exercise common sense when cycling. Cycling is a dynamic sport and requires reacting
to varying situations. Like any sports, cycling involves risk of injury and damage.
By choosing to ride a bicycle, you assume the responsibility for that risk.
Important!
Please use the bike of your choice only for the purpose it was made for.
For instance a road racing bike can not be used to substitute a mountain bike in off
road terrain or a Trekking bike can not be used for downhill racing or road racing.
If you have questions or problems regarding your new Scott bicycle, please contact
your Authorised Dealer.
Ride Frequently!
Legal advice:
Your new Kids bike meets, (as complete equipped model), all demands of the traffic
law standards and is allowed to be used in public streets.
It is obligatory that your child has reached the age of 8 years otherwise he/she should
use the sidewalk, which is legal up to 10 years of age. Please check your national laws
regarding this point!
Use of the bikes:
Maximum load of the bike must not exceed 50 kg.
The carrier ( when supplied with the bike) is made for a maximum load of 20 kg. In
general we recommend not to use the carrier on kids bikes for load transports due to
the reduced riding performance. SCOTT kids bikes are built to be very robust, jumps or
riding on stairways however exceed normal use.
When producing your SCOTT kids bike we only spec’d parts of high quality and
which offer safety under all riding situations. This is very important when participating
in public traffic. You will reach a maximum of safety by avoiding any dangerous
situations.
- Make sure that your child is well experienced in cycling when riding in public traffic.
Please be reminded that your child needs some time to get used to his/her
new bike. In addition children are allowed to ride on the sidewalk up to an age of
10 years.
- To react in the right way on public streets it is important for your child to know
about the traffic laws.
- Do not stress your child. It might happen that other participants in traffic, especially
cars, will make feel him/her unsure. Please have some lessons on how to ride in a
parking ground before participating in traffic.

immediately at your local SCOTT dealer. Never try to repair bent parts, they might fail
and cause an accident!
Before riding:
In the beginning the seat height should be adjusted in that way that your child, when
sitting on the saddle, can reach the ground with both feet. When more experienced
the saddle can be raised up into perfect riding position.
Important
Never exceed the seatpost and stem over the marked area. Otherwise the connection
can get loosen and can cause in worst case a crash.
Please check that your child can reach easily the handlebar and use brake- and shifting
levers as well as the bell.
Before every ride:
The traffic laws demand that one checks all functions that concern safety. Check every
brake when starting to ride. Also check the function of front and rear light and check
the air pressure of the tyres.
In addition to the checks listed above please check your bike regularly or if necessary,
according to the following list or contact your local SCOTT dealer to do so in order to
reach maximum safety and fun while riding.
- All bolts and nuts, especially the quick releases of the wheels for proper fit and in
case they are loose tighten them .
- Stem and handlebar for visible damages and replace them if necessary. Please make
sure that the bolts are tightened evenly when closing the front cap, according to the
tightening torque recommended by the producer of the parts.
- Braking systems
- Air pressure of the tyres according to the recommendation of the producer.
- Light systems and bell
- Handlebar grips to be fixed to the handlebar
- All parts of the rear suspension system including mounting bolts

In order to keep the function and optic of the bike in good condition we recommend
periodical bicycle care.
Doing so keeps the value of the bike and helps to prevent from corrosion or other
damages:
- clean with soft brush, water and soft towel. Do not use high pressure cleaner,
otherwise bearings, color or decals can be damaged.
- Do not use aggressive cleaning additives
- Repair color damages at once
- Grease or oil all metal parts especially during winter use
Please use biodegradable bicycle cleaners and degreasers which are offered at your
local dealer.
For buying spare parts we strongly recommend to visit your local Scott dealer as he
knows best which parts will fit to your bike and can help you to make your choice of
parts matching to your bike.
By doing so, you can avoid a combination of parts that might not match to each other.
Please only use original spare parts as only these can guarantee optimum function and
safety while riding.
This is extremely important on parts of the brake system, the tire and air tube.
Never use adapter solutions to fix or assemble brakes, seat/seatpost
and stem/handle bar!

for two years for defects in material and/or workmanship in case of purchase of
completely assembled bikes.

maintenance service has been effected according to maintenance requirements as set
forth in this manual by an authorised SCOTT dealer.
The authorised SCOTT dealer shall confirm the effected annual maintenance service by
stamp and signature.
In case such an annual maintenance service has not been effected the warranty of
5 years for the frame shall be reduced to 3 years.
